Inspecting Your Roof Before Hurricane Season

Who can forget hurricane Katrina and all the destruction it created in New Orleans? Certainly, no one wants to be a victim of a devastating hurricane. That's why we should employ early preparations in order to keep our house standing after a hurricane hits. Our first focus should be the roof since it has more exposure and receives the most force.

You should always get your roof inspected by a roofing contractor just before hurricane season, preferably in early summer. Also, you should conduct your own roof inspection after each severe storm. In particular, take note if there are any loose shingles or tiles and if so, fix or replace them immediately. Always make sure that roof panels are safely attached to the house so that strong winds don't peel them off and toss them out.

If anything at all looks amiss, call Blues Brothers CC and let us have a look at your roof. Don’t wait for government warnings before you prepare your house for a hurricane. By promptly inspecting your roof and preparing weeks before the hurricane season, you would save yourself from potential damages that might leave you with expensive repairs.
